Back in the pavilion, the two ladies were still drinking tea inside, and when they saw that they came in today, they hurriedly got up to greet each other.

When asked about the princess's situation, Miao Zhaorong replied: "Shicai was taking a nap, and now I am awake, but I am still lying on the bed and refuse to get up." ”

The princess is young, and she has always been close to her, and she has not many scruples. Hearing Zhaorong say this, he took a plate of the Imperial Catering Bureau's new Dragon Boat Festival fragrant candy and stuffed plum from the table, and said, "I'll go talk to her." ”

Zhaorong agreed, summoned me and a little maid named Jiaqingzi, and ordered us to serve at the princess's gate.

"Jiaqingzi" originally refers to the plum that grows in Jiaqing Fang, Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty, the fruit is sweet and rarely has a good reputation, so it is called Jiaqing Li, passed to the national dynasty, Jiaqingzi has become the good name of candied plum. The princess had four little maids, all of whom were seven or eight years old, and their names were all given by the princess, all named after the things she liked to eat, and the other three were named Xiao Jing'er, Yun Guo'er and Citron.

Jiaqingzi is new this year, the princess was drinking porridge when she first entered the cabinet, Han asked the princess to give her a name, the princess looked at it, asked her what her surname was, and the little girl replied that her surname was Jiang. At that time, the princess was chewing a piece of spicy foot ginger in her mouth, and she was happy when she heard it: "Then you call it spicy feet!" ”

Miao Zhaorong objected with a smile when she heard this: "If she really changes her name, how will she go out to meet people in the future?" ”

The princess didn't insist, and said, "Then I'll think again." ”

I saw her eyes wandering on the table full of side dishes, all lettuce, mob, ginger bean, spicy radish, mustard melon, raw flooded papaya, etc., and finally glanced at the fish buns on the side, worried that she would give the little girl another stunning name, so I took the opportunity to change the empty plates and cups, and put a plate of Jiaqingzi in front of her.

Sure enough, this inspired her: "You just call Jiaqingzi, I'll eat it cutely." ”

The princess loves sweets and preserves, but now she is changing her teeth, Miao Zhaorong rarely gives her food, and she is taking stuffed plums at this time to make her happy.

The princess, lying on the bed, was evidently awake at the moment, and when she heard her father come in, she immediately turned and pretended to sleep.

Jinshang sat down at the head of her bed, handed the stuffed plum to her nose, and called her with a smile: "Huirou, look what Daddy has brought you." ”

The princess did not move, nor did she agree. Jinshang smiled and said: "It's the Dragon Boat Festival stuffed plum just made, and the honey has flowed out of the plum skin, and if you don't eat it, it won't taste good if you leave it for a long time." ”

Stuffed plum is a seasonal sweet. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, people cut calamus, ginger, apricot, plum, plum, perilla into shreds, pickled with molasses, incorporated into the plum peel to make it, the taste is sweet and sour, the princess has always loved greatly, and only around the Dragon Boat Festival can be obtained in a year, but the Miao lady does not give much, so at this time it is a great temptation to give her.

The princess's shoulders moved slightly, and she must have struggled in pain, but in the end, she finally held on, but there was no response.

Jinshang sighed, as if talking to himself, "I slept so soundly...... then turned his head and called Jiaqingzi over, handed her the plate in his hand, and said, "I've given you a reward for brewing plums, you can eat it yourself, or share it with Xiaojing'er." ”

Jiaqingzi happily took it, and then remembered to salute and thank him, and waved his hand with a smile: "That's it, go eat it." ”

Looking at the princess again, and seeing that she didn't mean to open her eyes, Imakami got up and said, "Since the princess is still asleep, then I'll go back first." ”

One wall said, and one wall gently walked into the curtain on one side and hid behind it.

The princess did not hear any movement for a long time, turned around slightly, opened a slit in her right eye, and did not see Imajo, so she sat up with her eyes wide open, and made sure that her father was not in front of her, and jumped down from the quilt, and ran to the door to look out without putting on her shoes.

I didn't see the figure of Jinshang, so she turned to me and asked, "Daddy is gone?" ”

I smiled and bowed my head.

"Oh......" She thought I was nodding, and her eyes dimmed in disappointment.

At this time, Imajo appeared laughing, and when the princess saw it, she exclaimed, and quickly ran back, jumped on the bed and pulled the quilt to cover her head tightly, only to see the quilt trembling slightly, and she didn't know that the princess was crying and laughing.

The princess was forced to show her little face, but her eyes were still closed and her mouth was tightly pursed, indicating that she did not want to talk to her father.

"Well, don't laugh, don't laugh," said to the princess with a serious smile, "Otherwise, the missing tooth will leak." ”

The princess couldn't hold back any longer, sneered and laughed, her eyes finally opened, and she looked at Imajo and retorted: "Daddy's toothless child when he was a child only leaked air!" ”

Imakami smiled and asked her, "Don't you get angry with your father?" ”

"Well," replied the princess, ...... hesitant, "I want to think about it......"

"Hehe," he snatched the princess's forehead and said softly, "There is nothing wrong with Huirou today." Daddy speaks a little louder to you, but definitely not scolding you. Your eighth sister is gone, Zhang Niangzi is unhappy in her heart, and she is easy to get angry with others, she said that she doesn't want to see you, so you can come back first according to her wishes for the time being. When a person loses a loved one, just like when she is seriously ill, she can't see anything unpleasant, at this time, she won't listen to your explanation, and if you say a word, it may make her more sad, so it's best not to go against her will, it's always good to avoid it. ”

The princess asked, "If she doesn't want to see me, why does Daddy want me to take me?" ”

Jinshang smiled helplessly and said: "In the emperor's family, every move is concerned by the people of the world. In the face of red and white joys, ordinary people's joys, sorrows, and sorrows may be hidden deep in their hearts, and may not be overflowing with words, but we can't, we must follow the will of our subjects, to grieve, to rejoice, and show this joy and sorrow to the people of the world. Whether Mrs. Zhang wants you to go or not, you must be laid and clothed, so that the subjects can see the deep sorrow of the eldest daughter of the emperor for her younger sister. Although Zhang Niangzi doesn't want to see you, if you don't go, she will be more suspicious of the past, saying that you are weak or crazy. Besides, you wanted to go yourself, didn't you? ”

The princess nodded, and said gloomily: "Yes, Youwu is gone, and I am also very sad......" Looking at her father again, she reached out to touch his eyebrows, and the princess asked again: "Is Daddy better?" The circles under my eyes have been dark for the past few days. ”

Imakami sighed, "Daddy is fine. The saddest person is naturally Zhang Niangzi, crying like something, it turns out that a person can have so many tears in his eyes...... So, don't make her angry lately, even if she says ugly things to you, just put up with it for the time being, it's really angry, just take a deep breath and think about it, if you were her, would it be the same. If you think like this, you won't be angry. ”

The princess agreed, and suddenly asked her father again: "Daddy, those big officials often count you down, and they don't see you angry, do you also take a deep breath like this, think about it, and then endure it?" ”

was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "Yes, yes, it's often like this...... However, sometimes I can't help it, I am still very angry, and I can't wait to hit my head on the dragon pillar. ”

The princess laughed out loud when she heard this. Akigami scratched her nose and asked, "Don't you get angry now?" ”

The princess sat up on her knees with a smile, put her arms around her father's neck, and said clearly in his ear, "Daddy, in fact, I am not angry with you for a long time, I was just embarrassed to talk to you...... Even if my father really scolds me, it's nothing...... I will be sad if my father scolds me, but if I feel better after my father scolds me, then I am willing to be scolded by my father...... If there must be someone between Daddy and me who will be sad, then make me sad. ”

Hearing these words, Jin Shang was quite moved, and he couldn't help but hug the princess tightly and said to her: "Daddy won't make Huirou sad...... You are Daddy's good daughter, Daddy will give you whatever you want, as long as Daddy can afford it......"

"That'...... I'm going to stuff plums! This daddy must be able to afford it. The princess was overjoyed and made a request, "One plate is not good, at least two plates!" ”

Imagami smiled and immediately told me to fetch two plates.

The princess took a plate of stuffed plums from my hand, held them in her arms and ate them one by one, and occasionally looked up at her father, and when she saw that he was always smiling, she said, "Daddy, I still want to ask you to promise one thing." ”

"Oh, what?"

"When I'm angry in the future, you can bring delicious food over, if you see me ignore me, or say no, don't give up, you must stuff it for me."
